ConnectPRO claims that their switches pass EDID information to all systems. They have some examples of it being in use in Youtube https://www.youtube.com/user/rexwu168/videos

I finally ordered one a while ago after I couldn't find anything cheaper with similar functionality, but it's currently on backorder so it will take some time to arrive & see how well it works in reality.

I have a ConnectPro UDP2-12AP, and can confirm that systems connected to it do not see the monitor go away on switch.

There is an interruption if you press the KVM reset button, but that's not something you should often do.
